Too many TLA’s on this forum. What is BP?

Blood pressure.

What’s TLA ?

Little Johnny was sitting in class doing math problems when his teacher picked him to answer a question, "Johnny, if there were five birds sitting on a fence and you shot one with your gun, how many would be left?" "None," replied Johnny, "cause the rest would fly away." "Well, the answer is four," said the teacher, "but I like the way you're thinking." Little Johnny says, "I have a question for you. If there were three women eating ice cream cones in a shop, one was licking her cone, the second was biting her cone and the third was sucking her cone, which one is married?" "Well," said the teacher nervously, "I guess the one sucking the cone." "No," said Little Johnny, "the one with the wedding ring on her finger, but I like the way you're thinking."

I had a friend who had Hepatitis, it took him years to recover, no alcohol and a change of diet but at 62 he's just started karate classes.

I got Hep A which is the least severe of A, B and C but can be fatal depending on the persons age or resistance. I got mine at age 30 so the effects were normal .

All three affect the liver , hence I couldn’t drink alcohol for 6 months or until my blood levels normalise. Severe fatigue is also felt in the early stages.

 

It lies unnoticed for around 6 weeks time when it is at its most contagious, I had to use separate cutlery and towels etc.

My son was 4 years old when I was diagnosed so caused us some worries until having him checked out.

 

Hep A is common, easily contracted from poor higiene usually associated with food preparation, seafood is a common cause.

I remember at the time there was an outbreak in a local school also.

 

I have no lasting issues and am now immune.

 

First time I came to Thailand was early ‘91 , working just outside of Bangkok for 10 days.
A great trip , sweating my plums off all day long then out with the production manager ( a fellow Brit ) till 2ish, drinking and seeing the sights ( Cowboy, Nana etc ).

Back in the uk a few weeks later ( May 91 )went out with a mate to the driving range , the only thing that was driving was the rain so went to the pub .
1 pint later and I felt terrible, shivering and general flu symptoms.
Back home, old lady was already in bed so jumped in and tried to sleep.
Woke up around midnight sweating and really hot, into the bathroom, cold flannel on my forehead, laid down in the bath ( no water ) to cool down.
Old lady appears “ you’re drunk “ she said with all the sympathy of a rattlesnake !!
30 minutes later felt better went back to bed.
Woke up with the old lady staring at me “ good god almighty look in the mirror “ she said .
I was completely yellow, even the whites of my eyes were yellow !!

Hepatitis A.

7 weeks off work till blood levels back to normal, strange reactions, bleeding athletes foot, a scalp full of spots !!
6 months on the wagon.

Yup, that’s what I brought back from my trip to Thailand, probably a lot better than what others have taken back home !!

We have difficulty with Thai tones. Thais have difficulty with combined consonants.

 

 

Yup, my surname comes out as Dee Wire ( could be worse ) !

 

Andy is not a problem here, although when I lived in Brazil I was called Angie and constantly ribbed by an American colleague who used to break out the old Stones classic when he got chance , I think he was pissed because they called him Huss ( for Russ ) !

If your town pressure is reasonable, bypass your tank, as that water will cooler + when you have no electric you still have water. a simple outside plumbing job. 

Yes, I have a tank/pump bypass, unfortunately the water pressure is pretty p1ss poor and wouldn’t give a satisfying shower, the “water in the bucket” system is a lot better when the power is down.

A Motor mechanic was just completing a repair in which he had removed the cylinder head from the motor of a car when he spotted a well-known cardiologist in his shop.
The cardiologist was there waiting for the service manager to come and take a look at his car when the mechanic shouted across the garage, "Hey Doc, want to take a look at this.?"
The cardiologist, a bit surprised, walked over to where the mechanic was finishing working on the car.
The mechanic straightened up, wiped his hands on a rag and asked, "So Doc, look at this engine. I opened its heart, took the valves out, repaired or replaced anything damaged, and then put everything back in, and when I finished, it worked just like new.
So how is it that I make £24,000 a year and you make £1.7M when you and I are doing basically the same work.?"
The cardiologist paused, leaned over, and then whispered to the mechanic.... "Try doing it with the engine running!.
